State Department Grants African Scholarship Funds
The Special Fund of $100,000 from the Office of Educational Exchange at the State Department supports African students at U.S. colleges. The Institute of International Education will administer awards through students’ colleges, with eligibility tied to enrollment, lack of prior U.S. government aid, and intent to return home. Preference goes to sub-Saharan Africans pursuing bachelor's degrees and needing partial grants, with emphasis on strong academics and extracurriculars.

Democrat Introduces Civil Rights Bill Aimed at Permanent Commission
Congressman William Fitts Ryan introduced a civil rights bill to strengthen the Federal Civil Rights program. It would permanentize the Civil Rights Commission and authorize action against unfair discrimination without waiting for a citizen complaint or presidential direction. The commission would gain power to investigate on its own initiative and seek court orders to stop discrimination, replacing its current temporary status set to expire September 9 1961.
